ECCC Tennis Teams Split Home Conferences Matches with Itawamba

March 10, 2018

The East Central Community College Lady Warriors picked up their second tennis win of the spring over visiting Itawamba Friday, March 9, with a 6-3 victory, while the Warriors fell to the visiting No. 20 ICC Indians 6-3.

The MACJC matches were played at the Tennis Complex on the ECCC campus in Decatur.

The East Central Lady Warriors improved to 4-3 on the season, while the Warriors are now 0-7.

“It was a solid team victory for the women without having the services of Gabby (No. 1 player Gabriela Gomez) for the second straight match,” said ECCC head coach Jay Pacelli. “The team really fought back after ICC played well in the doubles.”

The East Central teams will take a week off for Spring Break before hosting the nationally ranked teams from Cowley County Community College (Arkansas City, Kan.) at 2 p.m. on March 19 at the Tennis Complex in Decatur. The Cowley men are ranked No. 7 in the nation and the women are No. 11.
